I think they have a lot of descendants in the London area - typically driving 3-series BMWs ... |

Karen I think the answer to that might explain why there aren't very many people owning the surname. |

There are only two Onan's on the Scotlands people site.... 1 birth in the old parish records and one on the 1881 census. There are 39 Onions on the site though...... 2 births in Old Parish Records. 1 Marriage in old parish records. 13 births after 1855. 8 marriages after 1855. 11 Deaths after 1855. 4 in 1891 census. Oh and there are 36 carrot's, 10 cabbage's and 1 spud!! I'm deadly serious too!! Shaz x |
